Man, that Ellenore/Legacy routine just knocked it out of the park. I was so fascinated by it, I could have cared less how well they were actually dancing. It was just an awesome performance.
eta: I should specify, the Travis Wall number. I'm running an hour beyond y'all right now.
I actually hated that NappyTabs number. My favorite part was the judges talking alien.
I am generally hating NappyTabs. I think that their routines have been substandard of late.
WHAT is going on with Ashley's mom's hair?
Awww, Ryan asking people to vote for Ashleigh. although she sounded like a little girl when she talked the first time, I was a little touched.
Russell killed that Bollywood number. I love him. And boy howdy is it easy to see how Ashleigh's shoulder popped out.
yeah, you know exactly when that happened. and Russell did kill it. I love the way he smiles and looks like he's having fun
I think Kathryn is the most underestimated woman on that dance floor. She has made every partner look good. She moves into lifts effortlessly, she's fast on her feet, and she is just so present in her role. I really love her.
I think NappyTabs ran out of ideas in the year 2000. I absolutely HATED that routine and saw no point in it.
I think a prerequisite of being a good Bollywood dancer is being a good hip-hopper or krumper. Russell was on point for that puppy; I've never seen crisper, cleaner moves and Bollywood is really demanding that way. Excellent job!
Tonight was really good overall, save that NappyTab number--blech. I blame the choreographers, though, and not the dancers (although Ellenore could have hit her moves harder).
SailAweigh, what you just said about Kathryn is so true! Also, I think that the partnering thing works for Jakob, as well. He made Ashleigh look terrific throughout the first half, and has made his partner look equally great the last two weeks, all while making sure his own skills are not hidden. That waltz with Mollee was the best I've seen on this show, and that Broadway number was really well done, just so far about anything that Tyce puts out in his attempts at Broadway.
